Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An electro-conductive bonding material comprising: metal components of a high-melting-point metal particle that has a first melting point of 150° C. or higher; a middle-melting-point metal particle that has a second melting point which is between 80° C. and 139° C.; and a low-melting-point metal particle that has a third melting point of 79° C. or lower.
2. The electro-conductive bonding material according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the high-melting-point metal particle in the metal component is 80 mass % to 90 mass %, the content of the middle-melting-point metal particle in the metal component is 5 mass % to 15 mass %, and the content of the low-melting-point metal particle in the metal component is 5 mass % to 15 mass %.
3. The electro-conductive bonding material according to claim 1 , wherein the high-melting-point metal particle is at least one particle selected from the group consisting of an Au particle, an Ag particle, a Cu particle, an Au-plated Cu particle, an Sn—Bi-plated Cu particle and an Ag-plated Cu particle.
4. The electro-conductive bonding material according to claim 1 , wherein the high-melting-point metal particle is any one of the Au-plated Cu particle, the Sn—Bi-plated Cu particle and the Ag-plated Cu particle.
